Chapter 46: The crew is in turmoil

Hong Chen searched for the script of "Those Years" in a parallel world, and the movie in that world seemed to come from a certain province in China, with a strange accent and a bit of a snarky taste.

Moreover, there are many clips in the movies of that world that are not too healthy. Luckily, Yan Chi's script doesn't have those plots.

However, the movie as a whole is still very good.

Because the address of the school chosen is relatively remote and there are no good hotels around, the crew changed the dormitory building into an actor's lounge.

Student dormitories are generally not large, with six or four rooms, a few beds, two tables and a chair, although small but can meet the basic conditions of daily life.

Moreover, because this high school is newly built, the specifications are relatively high, and each dormitory has its own toilet.

Of course, the room prepared for the actors is not an ordinary bed, and the crew emptied the room and moved in a brand-new double bed and dresser, workbench, sofa, etc., which is also warm.

Hong Chen is very satisfied with this arrangement, actors, filming is the most important, and everything else is secondary.

"What? just let me live in that kind of place?" At this moment, a discordant voice sounded from the crew.

Hong Chen turned his head to look over, it was a young actress named Bai Miao. This actress is very beautiful, but she dresses up a little too hard, she is wearing a luxury brand, and the expression on her face is a little arrogant.

She didn't have anything in her hand, and there was a woman next to her who was supposed to be her life assistant, carrying several large bags and several small bags, and a suitcase behind her.

Although it was spring, her assistant was already tired and sweating.

Yan Yileng is also there, she and Bai Miao both belong to Times Media, but her coffee seat is much bigger than Bai Miao.

The two are friends, of course, the relationship is average.

Bai Miao is the actor brought by Yan Yileng to play the second female lead, and plays Yan Yileng's best friend in the play.

"Miao Miao, let's just take a look, there is no good hotel near here, and the dormitory is very well arranged, and it is very interesting to live there." Yan Yi sneered and persuaded on the side.

"Leng Leng, I came to this crew because of your face, not to mention the low salary, the conditions are still so bad. There are a lot of insects in this place, and there is no better place to bathe and beautify, what if you get hurt? And if you don't maintain it well, it will reduce your appearance. Bai Miao said in a coquettish voice.

Then, Bai Miao looked at her life assistant again, and said angrily: "You check for me, what five-star hotels are nearby." Let the crew book me a luxurious room there for a month, and I have to pick up and drop off every day when I go back and forth. ”

Her request was extremely rude, and even Yan Yileng frowned slightly.

This is the disadvantage of the actor's coffee position being larger than the crew.

Yan Yileng naturally won't be like this, and Hong Chen is not this kind of person. But many artists in the entertainment industry are pretentious, as long as they feel that the director of the crew can't suppress him, he will put forward a lot of excessive requirements.

For example, Bai Miao, she believes that although the director of this drama is Yan Yileng's brother, he is a rookie director after all and is not well-known, so she must be needed to suppress the formation and help increase the box office.

Moreover, he was invited by Yan Yileng for a long time, and he already had an advantage in status.

The scene was embarrassed for a while, Yan Chi rushed over, and when he heard about it, he muttered for a while.

It's not easy to deal with.

If Bai Miao is provided with this kind of service, then Yan Yileng and Hong Chen, who are bigger than Bai Miao's coffee position, will naturally provide it, this is not a question of whether Hong Chen and Yan Yileng are willing or not, this is the rule of the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, some of the drafts will be unfavorable to Hong Chen and Yan Yileng.

Huaxia fans have a strange hobby, which is to rank artists. Who stands in the middle of what to photograph, who is the first to speak, who is the first to announce the list of actors, etc.

They can all see the ranking of the artists from it.

The market determines demand, so artists also attach great importance to these rankings, which is why there is the origin of "grabbing the C position".

If Yan Chi lets Hong Chen live in the student dormitory this time, and lets Bai Miao live in a five-star hotel and return the car to pick up and deliver the car, the news will not be good for the crew and Hong Chen.

Moreover, he also needs to spend a huge amount of money.

These are secondary, and the most important thing is that the nearest five-star hotel is also far away, and it takes more than 40 minutes to get down.

If you count the delays, you will lose two or three hours of shooting time every day.

At the same time, many crews have had the phenomenon of being fully in place and waiting for actors.

Looking at it now, it is likely that this will also happen to Bai Miao.

"This, Teacher Bai Miao, you see that this place is too far away from the hotel, or you will just take it. In this way, I'll advance your clip and finish filming it first, it will only take half a month, okay?" Yan Chi stepped forward and said.

Bai Miao glanced at the student dormitory building, a trace of disgust flashed between her eyebrows, and said: "No, it must be a five-star hotel, I usually have to take care of my whole body, take a milk bath, and I can't do it here at all." ”

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

The surrounding crew members were also angry, shook their heads, and thought to themselves:

Big names are really hard to serve, especially this kind of big names that eat good looks.

Bai Miao's words were heard by Hong Chen, and he also walked over and asked Yan Chi, "Director Yan, what's wrong?"

Yan Chi said helplessly, "Teacher Hongchen, blame me, the conditions of the crew are too simple." ”

"No, the room is very warmly furnished, it can be seen that Director Yan is very attentive, and Yileng and I are very satisfied. Hong Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Miao's face changed.

Hong Chen's words stabilized Yan Chi's status in the hearts of the crew, so that everyone could see that he and Yan Yileng supported Yan Chi.

The crew is also a place of power.

At the same time, Hong Chen is also showing that neither he nor Yan Yileng said anything, what qualifications does Bai Miao, an actress who has just been in the second line, have to be arrogant here.

Bai Miao gritted her teeth, turned her head, and snorted, "Director Yan, my conditions remain the same." ”

Then, Hong Chen pulled Yan Chi aside, and the two of them spoke alone.

"Director Yan, I don't think you handled this matter right, as a director, you should inspect the actors before joining the group. And this situation you should stick to. Hong Chen said in a low voice.

Yan Chi nodded, he now found that his ability in this area was not enough, but fortunately, there was Hongchen. He explained: "The main thing is that people are pulled by Yileng, and I think I can also contribute some strength to the box office." ”

"Director Yan, sometimes traffic is not so important, and it is more important to make a good film. Moreover, Director Yan, you have to understand that the director is the boss of this crew, even if the actor is big, you have the final say in the crew, and even if we don't perform well, you should scold it. Hong Chen said again.

Hearing this, Yan Chi's eyes lit up, and invisibly, he had a little confidence in his heart.

He is not a vain and wronged person, but for the sake of the movie, he swallowed his anger, and as soon as Hong Chen enlightened him, his mouth suddenly opened.

To be a director, you must adhere to principles and be assertive.

The entire crew is centered on the director.

The director must take the lead.

"Fortunately, I haven't signed a contract with her yet, so there's still room for manoeuvre. Yan Chi made up his mind and turned around and returned to Bai Miao's side.

Bai Miao looked at him and thought that he had compromised, and couldn't help but show a victor's smile.

This has not happened before.

She has a lot of authority in some small crews, and no matter how many requests she makes, those directors are not desperately scolding her.

After all, she can increase the box office and represent huge benefits.

But she didn't expect that this time, Yan Chi said with a tough attitude:

"Bai Miao, the crew is such a condition, what you said will definitely not work. If you really don't agree, then I'll have to ask you back. Of course, I will reimburse the travel expenses normally. ”

"You!" Hearing this, Bai Miao's willow eyebrows straightened, a little angry. She looked at Yan Yileng and complained, "Leng Leng, you invited me to such a crew?"

Yan Yileng was also a little stunned when he heard Yan Chi's words, but then he smiled in surprise.

Yan Chi is tough, and she naturally supports it.

"Miao Miao, he is the director, he makes decisions, and it is useless for me to say it. ”

Hearing this, Bai Miao's face suddenly turned ugly, she raised her head and snorted, turned around and left without looking back.

Behind her, the life assistant hurriedly followed with a large bag and a small bag, looking a little sad.

When the surrounding crew saw this scene, they all smiled, and then looked at Yan Chi with a bit of respect in their eyes.

Yan Chi nodded gratefully at Hong Chen.

That night, Yan Chi and Hong Chen had dinner and drank, Yan Chi was drunk, and said to Hong Chen: "Hong Chen, I have made a friend of yours, thank you so much today." I don't know how to repay my brother, I also have a sister, you see........"

Hearing this, Hong Chen and Yan Yileng glanced at each other, and Yan Yileng's face turned slightly red.
